I cannot dnc because this fanuc 18M doesnt have a tape mode.
How can I do DNC?

Am I missing something?

I have no manual but have searched and found connection parameters,
but I need to put it into TAPE mode.

HOW???

Please help...

Thanks
Steve

Try to look in the offset/setting page , if you have a switch in the general purpose operator's panel.

Pd: You should say what type or brand machine do you have

96 leadwell v30
fanuc 18m
looks like version BDBI 0025
Basic + option -A1

Been in the param/ offset-settings all night.
I cant find a way with just online search.
Looking for anyone who knows if this does it
or it just doesnt with present hardware.
My keys are universal code and some membrane pcs have been lost.
I am very familiar with 6m, 10m, 11m and 15m.
I am stunned this doesnt have dnc if it is true.
I hope there is some little bitty trick... I'm not that hopeful right now.

Please help ...

Search the ladder for G45.5. If you don't have that then your machine will never preform DNC.

I found my answer!!!

There is a switch as suggested.
Thank you for that wise info.
Leadwell service directed me to it.
It is right there but there is a blank page on top of it.
The arrow down button to scroll to the next page presented the switch
labeled DNC1.
arrow over switches from off to on!!

Thanks all
